Hey Text and Rockers!
This one is all about the Egyptian creation story of Atum-Ra... and how it bounces off of other ancient Near Eastern texts and traditions.
Join us to talk about
- how multiple versions of stories and legends sit side by side in the ancient world.
- all about Atum-Ra creating "the nine" primaryΒ or "OG" Egyptian gods.
- ancient chaos waters as the starting point of ANE creation myths.
- why it matters that Atum-Ra creates through speech.
- how this ticks like a song with a cadence just like Genesis 1.
- the theme of creation by separation follows by filling the space with creatures.
- a beautiful hint that divinity is outside of the human construct of TIME. ha!
KK. much love TXT and ROCKERS!
